More on the possible sale of the Islanders from Bloomberg,

The team is worth $195 million, ranked 26th of the league’s 30 teams, according to Forbes’s annual valuations. The team had $61 million in revenue in 2012-13 and an operating loss of $1.2 million, the magazine said.

The Islanders in 2015 will move into the Barclays Center, the $1 billion home of the Brooklyn Nets that opened in 2012. Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov owns the Nets and a share of the arena.

When asked about Prokhorov’s potential interest in the Islanders, spokeswoman Ellen Pinchuk referenced a news story from 2011 in which he said he wasn’t interested in owning another team. Pinchuk said Prokhorov’s opinions had not changed.
